‘The Index’, Australia’s leading luxury cigar purveyors, has launched the first box of aged Cuban Cigars from its unique, Australia-first Collection X program. The Collection X program supplies unique in-store access to the world’s rarest and most beautiful cigars, sourced from the personal collection of The Index’s creators and the industry’s most prestigious suppliers.
The Collection X program, available to The Index’s VIP customers by invitation only, has actually gotten enormous interest because the brand name launched. Last week’s debut release from Collection X’s personal curation, obtained by an unnamed client, comes six months earlier than the founders had anticipated.
“The quality of the product and the credibility of our luxury distributors means we have always considered Collection X a long game,” said Founder Hollie Taylor. “Our designated Collection X cigars are remarkable, one-of-a-kind products, and we maintain state-of-the-art resting conditions so that we can continue our role as caretakers for the world’s most premium current and next generation cigars.”
The first Collection X purchase featured a box of 15 Partagas Lusitania Gran Reserva Cosecha 2007. Restricted to just 5000 boxes worldwide, it was very first provided at the 2013 Habanos Celebration.
“The Partagas Lusitania Gran Reserva Cosecha 2007 is an inimitably constructed cigar that only a lucky few will have the chance to experience in their lifetime. Given its ageing experience to date, the selection is undoubtedly one of the most unique and desirable in the global market,” said Taylor. “We are truly humbled to have had the opportunity to release a box of Collection X cigars well ahead of our anticipated timing. Our clients lie at the centre of The Index experience, and the trust we have gained from them to help curate some of life’s most memorable and formative moments – in such a short period of time – is something we are so grateful for.”
Worldwide, the cost of Cuban cigars is expected to rise considerably.
“Echoing the luxury fashion market, Habanos S.A. has actually started notifying its suppliers of a new global pricing policy which will affect its entire portfolio of brands, consisting of Cohiba and Trinidad. The outcome of the boost will include even greater exclusivity to Cuban cigars, with aged varietals embracing a unicorn-like status,” said Taylor.
“The Index’s Collection-X program will continue to provide its VIP clients access to these generally wanted products, aged to excellence, to be savoured throughout life’s sweetest moments. In light of the recent worldwide scarcity of Cuban stogies, The Index and Collection X have never ever played more crucial functions in the collectible stogie market. We curate our variety to bring our VIP clients a quality of item that would be otherwise inaccessible, and while need might validate the instant release of our complete collection, we prefer to take a more discrete technique, building long-term relationships with our renowned patrons to guarantee they can obtain the rarest and most elusive stogies for their own collections,” Taylor concluded.
